The Brusly Lions Club

The Brusly Lions Club has been a tradition in the Brusly/Addis area for over fifty years. The club maintains an impressive array of hospital equipment available for loan at no charge. July 2003 marked a historic event with the first female president, Mrs. Andrea Normand, being installed. Women are now an important part of the Lions Club in Brusly. One of our well known club activities is the annual Bar-B-Que fund raiser held in June, Annual Easter Egg Hunt, financial assistance for eye glasses and exams for those in need and sponsorship for children to attend the Lions Crippled Children’s Camp.
